Weather in May
Temperature
As Galvez Town welcomes May, the average high-temperature displays a subtle shift, adjusting from 78.4°F (25.8°C) in April to a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C). In the month of May, Galvez Town records a consistent average low-temperature of 66°F (18.9°C).Heat index
May's heat index is estimated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
